ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Anyone who watched Tyler Duncan navigate a cold wind, a four-shot 54-hole deficit and three grueling trips down Sea Island Golf Club’s 18th hole Sunday would think the 30-year-old is devoid of emotion.
As he calmly explained following his playoff victory over Webb Simpson at the RSM Classic, that’s simply not the case.
In an out-of-character moment, Duncan fist pumped after holing a 25-footer for birdie at the 72nd hole to move into a tie with Simpson at 19 under par, and then spent the next 30 minutes waiting for Simpson to complete his round nervously pacing.
